Daming: From the Son of Heaven to the Leader of Comprehensive Martial Arts

Zhu Qizhen's hand was a little cold, and Murong Xian's soft hand held him, and his mood slowly calmed down like this.

"It's getting late, it's good to have Wei Zhongxian here, the two concubines should go back early, it's windy at night, the doors and windows must be closed, otherwise it's not good to catch a cold the next day."

Murong Xian had a smile on his face.

"Sister Concubine Tang is a blessed one. Now that the child is saved, there must be another child in the palace after a while. The emperor works day and night for state affairs, so he should rest earlier. Wei Zhongxian, be careful to serve the emperor. ,do you know?"

Wei Zhongxian who stood aside naturally followed the words of Concubine Xiang.

Murong Xian took Concubine Shu away.

With his mind set, the emperor began to carefully eat the food on the table. After half an hour, the imperial doctor came out from inside.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Tang has already rested after drinking the calming soup. The imperial hospital will guard the Zhongcui Palace. If there is nothing wrong with Concubine Tang tomorrow morning, she will be safe and sound."

Zhu Qizhen felt relieved when he heard this.

"Let's go."

Wei Zhongxian followed the emperor, originally thinking that this matter would be fermented, maybe the queen mother would let Sun Zhaoyi come to the emperor first to admit his mistake, but he did not expect that the emperor would eventually arrive at Chengqian Palace. People seem to know that the emperor will come, the expression on the face is very nervous.

I heard that I lost my temper once before in the palace. I thought I had a promising future, but I got the emperor's indifference. Desire is at work, so when things happen to me, I have nothing to do except to vent .

"Ma'am, the emperor is here."

Sun Keqing's heart was beating crazily. She knew that the emperor would come sooner or later, but when she heard this sentence, she felt a little weak. The queen mother had ordered people to come here just now. Now the emperor must know what happened in Zhongcui Palace up.

Holding the hands of the people around him to the door, he saw the emperor coming in with his hands behind his back, his eyes met, Sun Keqing tried his best to make the expression on his face not look so guilty.

"Chen and concubine greet the emperor."

If the emperor doesn't speak, then she will act as if nothing happened.

"The emperor came to the courtiers and concubines, and he didn't tell the people around him to pass on the news in advance. The courtiers and concubines are ready to rest."

Compared with when he first came to the palace, he was still a little more indifferent.

There was no emotion on Zhu Qizhen's face.

"Really? Doesn't Aifei know why I came here so late?"

After passing Sun Keqing and going directly to the inner room, Sun Keqing hurriedly followed behind the emperor.

"What does the emperor mean?"

Wei Zhongxian never thought that Sun Keqing would be so stupid.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly turned his head to look at Sun Keqing.

"is it?"

Wei Zhongxian looked at the maid beside Sun Keqing and wanted to continue to follow, he gave the little eunuch behind him a look, and only the emperor and Sun Zhaoyi were left in the inner room.

The movement of a needle falling could be heard, and Sun Keqing couldn't hold on anymore.

"The concubine really doesn't know what the emperor means."

Zhu Qizhen was not in a hurry, he sat on the main seat, touched the meticulously carved vacancy, his lifelike eyes could see that it cost a lot, but it was a pity, some people really didn't know how to cherish it.

"Do you know why the Sun family let you come to the palace?"

Sun Keqing thought that as long as she didn't admit it in front of the emperor, it would not matter even if someone saw that she had a dispute with Concubine Tang, but she didn't expect the emperor to say such words.

"Naturally, it is because the Sun family is loyal to the emperor, and the emperor is sympathetic to the heroes, so the concubines have the opportunity to enter the palace." It is true to say that, but it is not easy to put those dark thoughts on the table.

"This kind of rhetoric must have been repeated many times in Aifei's heart, right?"

Sun Keqing can only support the smile on his face now.

"The emperor was joking."

At this time, Zhu Qizhen grabbed Sun Keqing's neck, his face was full of anger.

"So, Aifei isn't going to explain it in front of me?"

Sun Keqing didn't expect that the emperor would directly attack him.

Tears were suffocated like this, and Sun Keqing felt fear for the first time.

"I... I... Your Majesty, how could you do this to me?"

Although the emperor didn't have a strong affection for him before, at least the emperor was a calm and calm person, but now because of the concubine Tang's matter, Sun Keqing was really scared when he appeared to be making such a big move in front of him.

Zhu Qizhen let go just like that, and Sun Keqing lay on the ground gasping for breath, apparently still not recovered from the stimulation just now.

"At first, I thought that the Empress Dowager understood my thoughts and would persuade you to come to me and admit your mistakes. It seems that my concubine now wants to see what the Sun family holds in my heart, and whether she can save your life. ?"

Sun Keqing looked at the emperor, but said viciously: "If I say that Concubine Tang's belly is what she wants to do, will the emperor believe the concubine? If it wasn't for the Queen Mother's order, the concubine would not have to go to Zhongcui Palace today. Go, I know that the person inside is someone the emperor really loves, so why should I join in the fun, if something really happens then, no matter who is at fault, won't I be the one to bear it in the end?"

Sun Keqing really had too much unwillingness in her heart. Since she took advantage of the Sun family's honor to take the position of Zhaoyi, she had to bear the emperor's suspicion.

But what happened today was indeed not done by her.

"At that time, there were only Concubine Tang and I in the inner room. There was a piece of letterhead on her dressing table with the birth date of my concubine's late mother written on it. I thought Concubine Tang's purpose was to deal with me. People dare to curse my mother to have no peace in the ground, knowing that all the concubines sacrificed for the Sun family was just to keep my mother's memorial tablet, but Concubine Tang still does this, does the emperor know?"

Sun Keqing stood up with difficulty, and now remembering when she saw that thing, she still felt her blood surge.

"Concubine Tang knows in her heart that if the concubine sees that thing, she will definitely be angry, but there is no one in the inner room. When the concubine goes to Zhongcui Palace, it is natural to follow the rules of Zhongcui Palace, but a pregnant woman Concubine, there is no one around you, Your Majesty, you are already partial to listening and believing, it is better to give death to your concubine than to ask the emperor to punish you."

After Sun Keqing finished speaking, all the strength in her body seemed to disappear, and her slumped complexion made her lose her former glory.

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing outside, did not expect such a rhetoric.

Chapter 339 I Can't Keep It

Naturally, some people in Zhu Qizhen will use other means to reduce their suspiciousness when they know that the consequences they are about to face are unbearable.

But from the very beginning, I didn't ask Sun Keqing Xingshi to inquire about the crime, just wondering if there might be other secrets behind this incident.

"You mean that Concubine Tang didn't want to keep this child at all, so she slammed her stomach against the corner of the table in order to frame you?"

Zhu Qizhen naturally wanted to press further, but Sun Keqing stood up with his body supported at this time.

"Your majesty, my concubine's thoughts towards you are the same as those of other people. Even if the emperor really wants to beware of the Sun family, my concubine is innocent. Your majesty is wise and mighty, and will never listen to anything , but why did everything change when I came to the concubine?"

Sun Keqing really had too many complaints and unwillingness in her heart. If it wasn't for the concubine Tang's incident this time, I don't know how long she would hold back. Now that she has this opportunity, she naturally wants to say something in front of the emperor. Clearly.

"The concubine should have a child of her own if she wants to settle down in the palace, but the concubine Tang and the concubine have never had anything to do with each other, so why should the concubine do anything?"

Sun Keqing has no reason to do this, but in Zhu Qizhen's heart, Concubine Tang attaches great importance to this child, otherwise she would not have gambled in the draft, if she hadn't recognized Shangguan Haitang at that time If you come to participate in the draft when you are pregnant, that is a capital offense. Even if you are a young lady from Hulong Villa, that is an act of contempt for the imperial power.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen felt that there might be other people's actions involved in this matter, but they were not noticed for a while.

If it is easy to blame these two things on Zhongcui Palace and Chengqian Palace, some people will obviously be let go quietly.

"I don't know what the empress dowager ordered people to say beside Zhaoyi just now. I know what the emperor is thinking, so I asked you to say that?" Wei Zhongxian started to remind the emperor at this time. Perhaps Sun Keqing had no intention of doing anything, but the empress dowager Not necessarily over there.

Now that the members of the Sun family are being held down tightly, the position of the queen is to determine the future status of the Sun family in the harem. Sun Keqing seems to have become an abandoned son. Zhu Qizhen realized a long time ago that the queen mother might still have a place in the harem. My own people were delayed by a lot of things, so they didn't bother to look for them, but now, it was obvious that they wanted to push Sun Keqing to the front of the stage. , the Sun family will naturally send another person to the palace to replace Sun Keqing.

And the reason why Sun Keqing said such disheartening words just now was obviously aware of something.

But there are too many possibilities for this matter. Maybe the queen mother knew her suspicious character and took advantage of it. On the contrary, Sun Keqing's status in the palace would rise steadily. The Sun family took a risky move like this.

But Zhu Qizhen has always been sympathetic to beauties, and he can even be a little more tolerant. Sun Keqing used it as an example before, and he also wanted to remind those ministers who forced their own daughters into the palace.

"Get up." Zhu Qizhen took the initiative to stretch out his hand, Wei Zhongxian who was standing aside did not expect that Sun Keqing would occupy a special place in the emperor's heart in such a way.

Sun Keqing's tearful eyes appeared in front of Zhu Qizhen. She didn't expect that, after all, the favor that the emperor was willing to give her before was for the empress dowager's sake. His tone of voice clearly indicated that he would not pursue it any further.

"emperor."

Sun Keqing really felt wronged, the arrogance in her heart was completely smoothed out in just two months in the palace, and now, she only hoped that the emperor would give her justice again.

The hearts of the people in Chengqian Palace are also in suspense. Once Lady Zhaoyi is convicted, their lives will be lost.

"Aifei should rest first, I will come to see you tomorrow."

The people outside waited anxiously for the result inside, but unexpectedly the emperor came out with a calm expression, Eunuch Wei had nothing to say, and the empress stood there in a daze, as if she was frightened by something .

Feiyan walked carefully in front of her own mother.

Sun Keqing felt the people around him walk in, and all the strength in her body disappeared, and she sat on the ground a little limply.

I don't know why the news of Chengqian Palace leaks out in the shortest time every time. Before, I thought it was the emperor who ordered people to stare at me in Chengqian Palace. Unexpectedly, someone said in front of the emperor that he had lost his temper and smashed all the vases and bowls in the palace.

It is true that Sun Keqing has a big temper, but she didn't do it this time. She followed what she had done in the past, just like this. It seems that even by her side there are people with different intentions who want to kill her.

Speaking of which, isn't it obvious who is able to place people in her palace so openly?

There are enough embarrassing things today, and Sun Keqing doesn't want to care about her own fate. Since she can solve the traitor in her hand, she must at least make the situation in the harem a little more chaotic.

"Get out of here, Bengong!"

The sudden rage of Empress Zhaoyi seemed to have brought these people back to the previous environment. Feiyan knew that Empress had suffered a great grievance, but the emperor now held back and didn't know what it meant.

"Everyone go out first, and order the small kitchen to bring the pear soup prepared earlier."

The rest of the people retreated, and Feiyan carefully helped his mother up.

"Today's incident was indeed ordered by the queen mother. Concubine Tang is now the emperor's favorite, and the empress could have shirked it."

What Fei Yan said didn't mean to blame, but just said that the Queen Mother was cruel, maybe she had made arrangements early in the morning, but she still kept the young lady in the dark.

"The emperor has been troubled by the salt tax recently. If the concubine Tang gave birth to the prince smoothly, it would be a distraction for the emperor, but at this critical time, the prince's matter happened. If the concubine Tang is the same as the emperor thought before, I won’t take this risky move, but who the emperor is willing to believe is the most important thing.”

When Sun Keqing came back from Zhongcui Palace, she told Fei Yan everything. As for what she said in front of the emperor just now, Sun Keqing had thought about it carefully. After all, she knew what it was like, and so did Concubine Tang. .

It's just that she always felt that Concubine Tang didn't seem to be aiming at her, maybe there was something else hidden.

3 Chapter Forty

Seeing that Miss Tang was still thinking about Concubine Tang at this moment, Fei Yan didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty, what we should be worried about now is our own situation. This servant is watching what the Empress Dowager Xingxu and Lord Shangshu have agreed upon. Your Majesty, don't forget what our purpose of entering the palace was."

Sun Keqing made so much noise in the palace precisely because he did not forget.

It was said before that Concubine Tang was closer to the current Xu Zhaoyi, one without any background, but at the beginning I heard that she was an assassin and stayed in the harem after being captured alive by the emperor, such a person would be dangerous if placed by the emperor's side.

It's just that Xu Zhaoyi's closeness with Concubine Tang these days is not known whether it was intentional or not. If it is true, it means that he did not tell the truth in front of the emperor at the beginning, and there is another secret behind this matter.

But Sun Keqing is most worried about another thing. If all this is the emperor's idea, the child in Concubine Tang's stomach will be saved, at least for the emperor, there will be no loss, but now he can take Concubine Tang. Sun Keqing didn't want to think about the matter to make a big fuss about it. It was already very hard for her to live in the palace.

"Help me back to rest." Feiyan supported the empress's body with some difficulty, and when she arrived at the bedroom, she saw the prepared pear soup. Speaking of which, she was never treated like this when she was in the Sun's family, and this was ordered by the emperor. The emperor knew everything about what the small kitchen cooked for her, but he had to ask again and again, but the pear soup in front of him also showed that the emperor had put her in his heart. The two contradictory aspects made Sun Keqing feel like he was in the middle of ice and fire. unspeakable.

Feiyan stayed by the empress's side, and the effect of the soothing incense was quite good. After seeing the empress fell asleep, she dared to close the door carefully.

After Zhu Qizhen went to Zhongcui Palace and lost his temper, he did not go to Yanxi Palace, but took Wei Zhongxian to the Buddhist hall instead.

This place was built by Zhu Qizhen with all his heart, just because when he first came to this place, the appearance of this dry well always flashed in front of his eyes, so he simply used this remote place, next to it is a treasure. Hua Dian has now become the holiest place in the palace.

Wei Zhongxian thought that the emperor never believed in ghosts and gods, and what happened today seems to have nothing to do with these things, but since the emperor came to this place, he had his own attention, Wei Zhongxian knew that his life was important, so naturally I won't ask any more questions.

After burning a stick of incense, Zhu Qizhen seemed to have made up his mind, and ordered Wei Zhongxian to call Du Feng, the current leader and general manager of Jinyiwei, over.

Speaking of which, the emperor's orders were all done by special means before, but this time, he came to the emperor in person. Du Feng was still thinking about whether he had usurped Wei Zhongxian's position, but when he arrived outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation , a full moon was in the sky, and the bluestone bricks on the ground shimmered. Wei Zhongxian quietly guarded the outside alone. If you look carefully, it looks like there are still some candles inside.

Du Feng's true face has never been revealed to anyone, and the person who knows him best is Wei Zhongxian.

"Eunuch Wei." Thinking about his identity, Du Feng signaled to Wei Zhongxian first.

But this time, Wei Zhongxian didn't have the same expression as before. On the contrary, he was very nervous. He signaled Du Feng to go in quickly with his eyes, and then lowered his head.

Du Feng was a little surprised, but he opened the door carefully and went in. He saw that the emperor was wearing a black robe and seemed to be holding a book in his hand.

Keep your voice as low as possible.

Kneel down respectfully in front of Zhu Qizhen.

"My humble minister pays respects to the emperor."

Every move is extremely respectful, Zhu Qizhen turned around at this time, and there seemed to be a smile on his face.

"Get up."

Du Feng stood aside respectfully, waiting for the emperor's order.

"Do you know what happened in the palace today?"

As the leader of Jin Yiwei, Du Feng must know about it, but Jin Yiwei never asked about the affairs of the harem, even if he knew, he would not say much, but now that he is in front of the emperor, Du Feng replied that he knew.

"Some time ago, I ordered you to have someone look at Jiang Yuyan, why didn't you come to me and report back?"

When Du Feng came over, he thought that the emperor had some important orders, but when he suddenly mentioned Jiang Yuyan, Du Feng suddenly felt a buzzing in his head, thinking of the letters that he hadn't opened in time, the emperor really He ordered Jiang Yuyan to be watched. Before, he wondered why he was just a concubine in the emperor's harem, so how could he let the people of Jinyiwei do it.
